Improving the surface integrity of the CoCrMo alloy by the ball burnishing technique

The CoCrMo alloy is a biomaterial that has been employed for the production of permanent orthopedic implants, however, the release of metallic ions from debris due to tribocorrosion is the main drawback for its extended application. In this paper, we propose the use of the ball burnishing process to...
